Is there a barrier between you and love? Are you carrying crosses that have nothing to do with you? Are you being victimized by you? These are the questions T.D. Jakes asks in his sermon, “Removing the Barrier to Destiny.”

coming up on the Potters touch are you

blaming yourself for things that that

are not within your control do you

understand like a child

are you carrying weights and crosses

that had nothing to do with you that

were completely out of your control are

you being victimized by you this is the

part

greetings brothers and sisters in the

name of Jesus Christ our King I am so

glad to have this opportunity once again

to share the word of the Lord with you

I’m talking about removing barriers to

destiny you know that sometimes things

just they just get in the way that they

lock you down and you can’t figure out

why you’re stuck like this you didn’t

get to where you are about one single

incident in life a series of steps

brought you in to where you are and it’s

going to take a series of steps to bring

you back out I call them destiny steps

as we go into the Word of God today

let’s take the first step to removing

barriers to destiny

take a look are you blocking love this

is the love chapter giving it receiving

it attaining it is there a barrier is

there a reason people don’t like you

or is there a reason that you can’t like

them what’s the blockage could there be

something that stops you from suffering

long enduring seeking not your own is

there something a barrier right in the

middle of the dissertation about love he

says when I was a child I spake as a

child I understood of a child and I

thought in the child but when I became a

man I put away childish things

I put away childish things

I sprang to the child I understood as a

child I thought of the child sprague

understood thought hmm spake understood

thought s you t such spake understood

thought spake understood thought F UT

systems under test this is how you test

your systems you test your systems

through how you speak how you understand

and how you think

if if your life is not reaching

unexpected in do you have the courage to

test your systems because your systems

need to go under test is it the way you

speak the way you understand or the way

you think that is stopping you from

becoming what God would have you be it

is not the way you look look at how much

time you spend on how you look you work

so hard on how you look and there are

people who don’t have the features you

do who are much happier than you you

find but you miserable

you got your eyebrows large but you’re

not happy you have challenged the way

God made your ass more than you have

challenged the way you think they look

pretty but can they see

I’m not preaching against pretty I’m

just trying to say have you tested your

systems because I find that people are

loyal to this function they will fight

you to hold on to a system that’s not

working that’s just the way I am speak

for yourself

that’s me what if me isn’t working how

long will you hold on to a dysfunctional

system and let life pass you by the

system that is killing you is how you

speak how you understand and how you

think now we get into it now we get into

it the way you speak the way you

understand and the way you think is your

system and your system is blocking the

rain

when I was a child I spake as a child I

understood as a child I thought as a

child but when I became a man I put away

childish things

good God a mercy I try not to unload it

too fast what we’re dealing with is an

immature inner life an immature inner

life not outer life the outer life is

maturing but the inner life has not

could it be possible don’t odd don’t nod

don’t move because you no wonder I know

that inside you’re still a child

reacting to stimulus like a child

understanding your life like a child a

child the reason that children go

through trauma when when they’re young

and people divorce is that children

think it’s all their fault

are you blaming yourself for things that

that are not within your control do you

understand like a child

are you carrying weights and crosses

that had nothing to do with you that

were completely out of your control are

you being victimized by you

i spake i understood i thought such when

I was a child I spake of the child I

understood it a child and I thought of

the child that’s all cool he’s supposed

to when the inventory is supposed to

speak into understanding mature and

think immature here’s the problem the

problem comes with the but the blood

says when I became a man okay I put away

childish things

the buck tells me that it is the fact

that I became a man and then put away

childish things

not I put away childish things and that

made me a man come over here can you

think with me oh you’ve got to be my

daughter if you got what I just said

because most people think if I can put

away the childish things I’ll be a man

he said I became a man and still had a

childish system that had to be put away

because what was appropriate as a system

is now inappropriate because I have

outgrown the way I speak the way I

understand oh god help me and the way I

think I have outgrown the way I speak

the way I understand and the way that I

think I’m too big to be bound by this

system I’m too big to be bound by this

system I am bigger than the system the

system can’t put me away I must put it

away and so this is the significant

thing this is how things it’s good see

so so what I got down into is when I

became a man since the childish things

were there for me to put them away that

means that I can be I can develop to a

point that all of a sudden I am

developed outwardly but not inwardly are

you a man or woman loyal to a system of

a child and are you waiting on the

system to leave or would you put it away

the put away in the childish things

phrase is the same Greek word that is

used in verse 10 for done away when they

talk about you we prophesy apart we see

in part and all of that is done away the

same Greek word is used here it carries

the idea that cessation has not occurred

but functionality is severely limited it

is not putting it away like destroying

it but it does mean that I put it away

to the point

that is functionality is severely

limited so the the childish speech the

understanding and the thinking is still

existent but it is severely limited from

operating in my life

wait wait I’m gonna talk to you in a

minute but I want to put this iPad away

I put it away so I could talk to you I

put it away means I still know where it

is

it still exists but because it was

restricting me from being able to reach

you grab your neighbor and shake them

and wake them up and say you can put it

away you put it away you can put it away

you can put it away you can put it away

you can put it away before you lose this

opportunity you can put it away because

if you don’t change your system you will

lose the opportunity what I’m trying to

say if you don’t put it in a way it will

put you away if you don’t put it away it

will put you away it’ll put away

promotions it’ll put away progress it’ll

put away love it’ll put away life no

wonder Paul brings this up about love if

you don’t change your system it will put

love life prosperity it will all put it

away still to come on the Paris touch

and in order to go to a noona moment we

got to get put away all things all

systems

childish responses

can hear you Santa how how go deeper

into how do I put it away

you cannot put away number one what you

do not identify you got to identify

every time it shows up and say you know

what that’s that’s not the way I want to

understand it that’s not the way I want

to speak about it and that’s not the way

I want to think are you carrying weights

and crosses that had nothing to do with

you are you being victimized by you

when I was a child I thought as a child

I spake of the child I understood as a

child but when I became a man I put away

childish things I put away the systems

now you can’t put it away if you’re

holding on to it if you’re defending it

are you defending something that’s

killing you are you defending something

this kept don’t take it away leave me

alone get out of my face I’ll tapped

into my head are you are you defending a

system that is poisoning your water have

you ever noticed for how long you’ve

been here you have not accomplished what

you think is your destined purpose it

must be your system it must be your

system I speak in the child I understood

in the child I thought better child and

I speak what do I say what what am I

saying

what’s coming out of my mouth this

childish

the power life and death is in the

tongue what is coming out of my mouth

that is poisoning my opportunities can I

teach this thing God wants you to change

the way you speak

the one I really wanted to get to is the

way you understand the way you

understand the thing determines your

expected in and let me I ask God to give

me a way to tell on earth the way you

understand have you ever been mad at

somebody about something you thought

they meant and then when you called him

up if you talk to him you found out he

was completely wrong and immediately the

relationship was prepared it was

repaired through understanding the

person is still the same you are still

the same but the way you perceive the

thing has shame and the relationship is

healed look at how powerful

understanding is understanding is the

truth you stand under it is the truth

you stand under it is your version of

what happened it is your version of

what’s wrong it is your version of what

needs to be fixed and you could be

hindering the blessing of God because of

your version of your life what you

choose to see about your life what you

choose to focus on because we all

remember what happened but we all

emphasize different aspects of what

happened if you don’t believe that call

a family meeting and let everybody have

something to say about what happened

last September we will all there we all

know it but how we perceive it

Wow no yeah Lord thank you thank you he

said that’s why I said in all that

getting get an understanding as a

minister as a counselor as a pastor I

have learned that you cannot help people

that you do not understand you can’t

just start throwing random answers at

people you got to listen before you

speak do you not know that when you go

to a counselor all they do is help you

to understand you

you paid 299 dollars an hour to get them

to give you a different perspective on

what happened to you

I’m not against counseling I think it’s

a wonderful thing I think it’s a very

powerful thing and I would get it before

I would miss the rain I would get it

every day before I would miss the rain

but you could cut down the learning

curve if you would break the habit of

always going back to the old system of

processing what’s going on in your life

because I think in your adult life your

little child is talking I’m gonna get

out of here let me get it let’s go to

Galatians let’s go to the Galatians 4 1

& 2 now I say that the air as long as he

is a child different nothing from a

servant as long as you are a child you

are differing nothing from a slave you

are a slave to the system though he be

Lord of all law he he he different

nothing from a slave honest though he be

Lord of all he cannot operate in his

lordship because of his system his flock

in the rain is blocking the blessing he

living like a slave though he be Lord of

all and he is under tutors and governors

until the time appointed of his father

because of his immaturity

he is under people all they can’t handle

this i’ma try y’all

he is under people that he should be

over you

preacher here i’ma say it again

he is under people that he should be

over but until he grows up he cannot

inherit what is rightfully his and

you’re following people you ought to be

leading high five did somebody say that

man is preaching this morning somebody

shall put it away

good god of us put it away I don’t know

why I gotta put it away I gotta put it

away I gotta put it away I gotta put it

away

I got a distance myself from it I gotta

separate myself from it I gotta get it

out of me I gotta move it aside

I gotta resist the temptation to reacts

in my old system

I gotta feel it and resist it till his

ceases to be mine

slap some Isaac put it away I will sit

down i’ma talk to you minute one more

minute one moment I gotta get this cuz

we got to put it away we got to put it

away we got to put it away first we got

to know that it is not us

Oh God

can we embrace the fact that it is not

us the way I speak the way I understand

and the way I think is not me it’s a

system I can survive without it until

you know that you won’t kill it because

you’ll think killing it is killing you

which stops you from being the new you

we go into a new normal and in order to

go to a new normal we got to get put

away old things

old systems childish responses how do I

put it away I can hear you I can hear

you saying that foul how go deeper into

how do I put it away

you cannot put away number one what you

do not identify you got to identify it

every time it shows up and say you know

what that’s that’s not the way I want to

understand it that’s not the way I want

to speak about it and that’s not the way

I want to think so when the thoughts

come I have to resist the thoughts that

come the Bible said once you identify if

you resist number two if you resist him

he will flee this is resistance training

it’s pulling against it that’s going to

make you strong

every time it comes to control how you

speak how you understand or how you

think the Bible said if you resist it

will flee the more you resist it

it’ll flee the more you cut the thought

of and aborted it will die the less you

speak out what you thought it will go

away the more you challenge how you

understand it and say maybe it’s not

that way the less power it will have to

be your truth any longer

I got to close right now it’s been a

real joy to share the word of the Lord

with you and to begin to discuss what

I’ve been

getting our flock about taking the steps

that you need removing the barriers

entanglement so you can walk in the full

Wester of who you are in God if not now

when

if not you who what are you waiting on

you need to step into alignment with

God’s Word I’m so committed to this and

so convicted by this that I that I put

together a book called destiny because I

believe that this stage in your life is

a destiny stage and I’ve got the steps

to help you get there why don’t you

order a copy live and experience the

power of God moving in your life in a

personal impression way I know many of

you are coming to megafest will have

some coffees there as well but if you

want to go ahead and order now you can

if not leave me a mega fence I’ll I’ll

have something there I want this to be a

meeting and event a decision that sets

you on the road to your destiny I want

to make sure that when you leave here

that you leave here on a whole nother

level

you don’t have to live in the dark

feeling like you never know what to do

God will leave you and guys

direction is not so addendum he’s not

just oh Jesus do you know how sure has

language I just need to reach want to

just reach back and dig in and see what

God did in your life’s and it’ll give

you a clue about where you’re going now

every day you wake up and you’re adding

to the kingdom you’re subtracting from

hell and that’s why the devil can’t

stand you another there’s a force on the

planet much rather than the facts and

it’s called the truth of the word of God

the anointing is coming on your life to

change your season and like me I want

you to understand that what God thought

about you it’s truer than what you

thought about you and I want to walk you

down the road and I want to let it rain

down on your head and to what he thinks

about you begins to hit the ground and

you become seed to the sower and bread

to the eater and people are glad to see

you coming blessed is he who cometh in

the name of the Lord they’re gonna be

glad to see you coming because God is

gonna make bread out of your life you’ve

been crushed

you’ve been pressed you’ve been

pulverized but God said I’m gonna make

you bread I’m gonna make you nourish

matter I’m gonna make you strength to

somebody

this is the bomb
